An object's velocity's rate of change
Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity.
Acceleration is defined as an object's velocity's rate of change. In other words, it is the rate at which the velocity of an object is changing over a given time interval. To calculate acceleration, you need to determine the change in velocity and divide it by the time it takes for that change to occur.
Mathematically, acceleration (a) is calculated using the equation:
a = (v2 - v1) / t
where v2 is the final velocity, v1 is the initial velocity, and t is the time interval over which the velocity changes.
By measuring the change in velocity and dividing it by the time interval, you can determine the acceleration of an object. Remember that acceleration can be positive, negative, or zero, depending on whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or maintaining a constant velocity, respectively.
